The setting
“This was the first and only venue that we toured- we immediately fell in love with the grounds, the white barn, and the CG team!”
“The Vino at the Venue events were especially helpful and we were able to sample wines and speak with Stephen then as well.”
“We loved the ceremony space in the trees, the beautifully manicured walkways and gravel grove by the cocktail hour space.”

From the reviews
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Carolina Grove for our daughter’s wedding last month. From the very first venue tour where we met with Pam, we knew we were right where we were supposed to be! So much so that we never even toured any other venues!
Where to even begin?! Getting married at Carolina Grove was a dream for so many reasons. First- the staff- from the moment I inquired about having our wedding, to doing initial vendor recs to leading the planning the last 4 months, the staff (Pam, Eliza, Aya, Stephen, etc) were all so kind, encouraging, helpful,…
We loved our wedding at Carolina Grove. The space is just beautiful, and the team was a pleasure to work with. We ended up having a quick but intense storm roll through just 15 minutes before the ceremony time.
There are no words to describe how AMAZING this venue is. It is truly the most beautiful, ethereal, whimsical place and we did not stop getting compliments about the location all night. All of the spaces from bridal and groom suites, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were so spacious and breathtaking.
Getting married at Carolina Grove
Carolina Grove comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
